This story takes place after season four, so Spoiler Warning! •Eddie survived the bat attack with a few scars and Hawkins is in a somewhat stable place. Unfortunately, Max wasn't as lucky as Eddie, leaving the party, yet mostly Lucas and El, in a state of grief. Everyone is trying to get back to their normal lives, helping people who became injured, or who's homes were destroyed by the 'Earthquake'. Dustin manages to convince Steve to read Lord of The Rings, hoping to make Steve and Eddie friends.
